Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must target - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
